Kim and Shego sat in a dark corner of a coffee shop, talking in hushed tones, “What do they mean chemicals left behind?” asked Kim.
“You know when my brothers and I got my powers they ran some experiments, right?” Kim nodded, “Well” Shego continued, “They must have found something that my glow leaves behind.”
“Do you know what is left behind, could it be made?” questioned Kim.
Shego shook her head, “Sorry Kimmie but scientists have a tenancy to ramble worse than Dr. D did. I can’t, I mean, couldn’t pay attention to him, how could a younger me stay awake through a science talk?”
Kim sighed, “I ask Wade to lookup the records for us. Can you think of anyone who would want to hurt you?”
Shego glared at Kim, “Don’t you think I would tell you if I could think of anyone! I thought it could have been one of Team Go’s enemies but none of them were this competent. I mean Hego could outsmart them!”
Kim matched Shego’s glare, “Well this makes no sense! You’re not telling me something!”
Shego stood up, left some money on the table and strode out of the shop; Kim quickly followed smiling sheepishly at the other customers. Kim jogged to catch up to Shego, who spoke without looking at Kim, “Kim, for once I didn’t do something and you think I’m not telling you something! I’ve told you everything, my past, my name; I’ve told you I love you. I have nothing anymore, nothing to lose. What the hell could I be hiding?” Shego looked at Kim honesty shinning through her usually masked features.
Kim looked down, “I’m sorry Shego, but we are missing something, and I don’t what!” there was some desperation in Kim’s voice.
Shego put her hand on Kim’s shoulder, “Well, I don’t know either. Now hurry up and contact nerdlinger maybe he can shed some light on this.”
Kim took out the Kimunicator; Shego put her arm around Kim’s shoulder as they spoke to Wade, so they could both take refuge in the contact between them.
-Hidden Location-
A tall, fairly young woman watched the two girls on a monitor. Her ice blue eye shone with hidden purpose, her left eye was covered in an ugly eye-patch. Her features were almost cherubic, a small perfect nose over a pair of full dark lips that contrasted with her pale creamy skin. Her hair was chestnut brown with some undertones of red running through it. Her clothes were tight and looked almost painted on, a dark red shirt that had been hacked at so it now stopped at her last rib showing off her flat stomach. Her three-quarter black length trousers that started low on her hips. The soft-soled shoes were the same shade of red as her top; they made no sound as she moved around the room, fiddling with various controls to get better focus on the pair. The women noticed the two begin to walk down the road again so she lent forward and spoke into a microphone, “Follow them, keep audio and visual but stay hidden, I don’t want to be seen yet!” Her voice was gravely but not unpleasantly so, and had a sort of musicality to it.
“Yes, ma’am, as you order.” Came the faint reply through the monitor. The woman walked over to her seat next to an unlit fireplace, her smile grotesque as she muttered to herself, “Shego will not find us until it is too late, and everything is as it should be. Soon Kim Possible will leave, no longer able to trust Shego. Perhaps then I will introduce myself.” The woman’s laugh echoed off the walls of the dark room.
-Kim + Shego–
The pair sat on a park bench in Go City square, “Don’t worry Shego, I’m sure Wade will find something we can use, okay?”
Shego continued to look at floor as she muttered, “I’ve gone soft, and that’s why this is happening. Someone wants to get me and they knew it was time to strike because I’m as soft as marshmallow, weak as kitten! Damn it!”
Kim lifted Shego’s chin and made Shego look her in the eye, “Having someone to care about doesn’t make you weak, that’s how we’ll beat them, by working together!” Said Kim resolutely.
Shego’s eyes sparkled with mischief as she snorted and said, “Pumpkin, that is so the cheesiest thing I have ever heard. It even beats; Anything’s possible for a possible!”
Kim gave Shego a light slap on the arm, it was starting to become a habit, “I was trying to be nice!” She exclaimed.
Shego leant forward bringing her face close to Kim’s and whispered, “Well, I guess I can be nice too then.” She closed the gap between them and pressed her lips to Kim’s in a sweet kiss, Shego’s tongue ran over Kim’s lower lip and was granted entrance, their tongues danced for dominance, eventually the two parted remembering the need to breathe.
Kim looked at Shego’s flushed face and giggled light-heartedly, “Maybe you should be nice more often!” Shego smiled and started leaning in to claim another kiss when the Kimunicator beeped. Kim quickly pulled away and took the Kimunicator out from her pocket, “Hey Wade, what did you find?” Kim asked
“There was so much in their files, according to the records they were unable to define what made Shego’s glow, the closest thing they could compare it to was fire or plasma but they thought it was closer to fire as only a small part of it is ionized and it can conduct electricity but it is not greatly affected by magnetic fields. I think they may have found traces of ionized gas at the scene and that isn’t hard to do if you know how and have the equipment, you see what you do is…”
Shego quickly took the Kimunicator and interrupted Wade, “As fascinating as this is nerdlinger, have there been any problems with security where they keep the records?”
“There was a break-in a couple years back but it seems that nothing was taken, so nothing down that road. Shego this stuff is so cool! You don’t think you could light up and let me scan your glow?” asked Wade
“No nerdlinger, I can control it and that’s all anyone needs to know.” Shego growled passing the Kimunicator to Kim who saw a sulking Wade, “Thanks Wade, we’ll be in touch.” Kim clicked off the Kimunicator, “Shego, why didn’t you let him scan it?” questioned Kim.
“All he would have found was that is has properties similar to fire but seeing as it doesn’t need fuel and I can make it so it doesn’t give off heat, it can’t be fire because it doesn’t fit into the fire triangle. It doesn’t seem to occur to them it might be otherworldly even though it came from a rainbow coloured comet!” Shego exclaimed
Kim gave Shego a look, “Looks like someone did listen in school!” she joked.
Shego gave Kim a mock glare, “Why You!” This time Shego got to slap Kim’s arm.
-Hidden Location-
The strange woman was still smiling even though the pair on the screen were close again, “Have fun while you can Shego, soon I’ll have you broken with no-one there to keep you sane. Soon you will know the Talon!” Again the woman’s sickening laughter echoed off the walls.
